Description
Gomphidiaceae is a taxonomic family of mushrooms that feature distinct caps and gill structures. The name means "little stake," referring to the mushroom's shape. Most are parasites of other fungi that themselves form symbiotic relationships with trees. In most cases, an individual species is strongly or solely associated with a specific tree species.
